Sea days are the very best.

Catherine and Erica visited Bremuda aboard Independence of the Seas.
Notice the sail ship beyond the white tents. The crows nests are fun to see, but what I really enjoy is the Norwegian flag on the stern.I didn't get any more information about the sail ship. Maybe next time.
All the best,
Lois
Today's image is from Catherine. She and Erica made DIY breakfasts in the Independence of the Seas Windjammer the morning she sent this image. It looks yummy!
When Kjell and I cruised as guests, we enjoyed room service for breakfast so we could enjoy our coffee on the balcony.
Either way, we didn't have to do the dishes. I love cruising!

I was recently asked about the menu at Izumi Restaurant aboard Royal Caribbean ships. Catherine sent me this image of the menu on board Independence of the Seas.
Enlarge the image to see the details.
There are several specialty restaurants aboard. This one is a favorite!
All the best,
Lois
Catherine sent me this image from Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant in Greater Cincinnati. I looked it up and there are two of them nearby.
This looks delicious! Kjell and I will have to try it! Well, I guess we'll wait until after my implant is complete. I'm in the middle of an eight month process of getting a dental implant since Lily knocked out my front tooth. Lily's side of the story is here.
Yes, I still love her.

For some time we've had one "doggie deck chair" (left) on our patio. The pups share, but sometimes it gets a bit crowded.
Catherine ordered a second deck chair (right) and the pups are quite happy now. If we had room for a third deck chair (we don't!) we would get one. In the meantime, two pups fit on the chair on the left, but now it's rare that all three want to stretch out at the same time.
It's a dog's life here....

It is more and more common to see other cruise ships at sea. Of course, there are more and more cruise ships out there!
When close enough, they often exchange greetings of three long blasts of the ship's horn, returned by the other ship, followed by a short blast from the first thip, then returned by the other ship.
Lovely.
All the best,
Lois
